The Knights bowling unit stuck to their task well throughout the day, with Waringstown’s Gary Kidd the most successful taking 3 for 36.

There were also two wickets apiece for Jacob Mulder (2-37), Nikolai Smith (2-30) and Graeme McCarter (2-37).

With more showers forecast for the second day, the Knights will be hoping to build a lead as quickly as possible in an attempt to force a positive result. However, that may play into the hands of the Warriors as the pitch showed signs of offering assistance to the bowlers as the day progressed.
